DING! Correct Answer!!!
While the bandpass portion of the discussion is heading in the right direction, I want to add that the cabin size has just as much to do with the sound of the sub as the sub itself. Below a certain frequency, the sub will do nothing more than pressurize the cabin of the car. As the cabin size gets smaller, the frequency goes up. If the frequency that the bandpass is tuned to is below the frequency at which the cabin is getting pressurized, you will begin losing frequency detail and added boominess.
While those two 10s might look cool and sound cool in this car, something different just might be a better fit. I know years ago Roseanne Barr had a small fleet of 8s in her Viper... The point is: the size of the room (or cabin) that speakers fire into is quite important.
I'm with some of the others: since the box has already been built, try sealing the ports first and give it a try. Or, have a sealed box built for them before giving up.
